Collieston and Slains SWRI March meeting discussed current business before handing over to Lynda Page, of Collieston, who volunteers for the Citizens’ Advice Bureau and gave an informative and entertaining talk about the organisation.

Among many interesting facts, members learned that CAB was founded during World War II in response to the housing shortage.

It offers every kind of generalist advice but also specialist advice on welfare and financial issues, NHS complaints, relationship problems, residency and food shortage issues.

The CAB service is totally confidential, impartial, independent and free.

Lynda was given a vote of thanks by Anne Craig, who was also one of the evening’s hostesses along with May Irvine and Nora Harper, providing a lovely tea.
